Give Birth Like a Feminist

Written by Milli Hill

Narrated by Milli Hill

As featured on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 5 Live Selected as one of the Independent’s 10 best pregnancy books for expectant parents

Birth is a feminist issue. It’s the feminist issue nobody’s talking about.

For too long women have been told, ‘a healthy baby is all that matters’. This book dares to say women matter too.

Finally blasting the feminist spotlight into the labour ward, Milli Hill encourages women everywhere to stand and deliver, insisting that birth is no longer left off the list in discussions about female power, control and agency.

From the importance of birth plans to your human rights in childbirth, and including birth stories from women across the world, this call-to-arms will help you find your voice, take an active role in your choices, and change the way you think about childbirth.

Utterly excellent from start to finish. If you only read one pregnancy book make this it. Fascinating, engaging and empowering, it’s completely changed my perspective on where and how to give birth, I will always be grateful to Milli Hill for writing this brilliant book.

This book was all the thoughts I have had about the birth environment and current practices written down and sourced. So important people understand what is written here and how far we have to go to better serve birthing families!

[Iida Mahlio · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Excellent, thought-provoking book. It has helped me put into words some of the feelings and ideas I already had but didn't know how to voice. I feel more ready and empowered to face the 3rd trimester and eventually the birth of my 2nd baby.
